Original watercolor on Arches 140# cold press paper. Framed and protected with conservation glass.
Swallow-tailed Bee-eaters are beautiful birds and fun to watch. These two perching together in front of an ancient tree are in the Kalahari Desert in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, a large wildlife reserve that straddles the border between Botswana and South Africa. Spotting these two sitting quietly together caused me to call out "stop" to the driver. I couldn't miss capturing this moment. True to their name, Bee-eaters hunt bees and other insects from a perch, catching them in mid-air.
